Legitimate Expectation | Employment as Compensation for Land Acquisition Under G.O.Ms.No.98/1986 Enforceable; Delay Violates Article 14 : Andhra Pradesh HC
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that employment promised to displaced families under G.O.Ms.No.98/1986 constitutes legally enforceable compensation, not mere policy. Prolonged inaction breaches the doctrine of legitimate expectation and Article 14, mandating immediate consideration of pending applications by affected dependents.
